create an association

10 years ago

I received an e-mail from our strata manager that I wanted to open but it said 'this file does not have a program asociated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel'. I went into the control panel but could not find where I was to create an association.
Has any one got an suggestions as I will be getting an e-mail from this person at least once a month and would really like to be able to open it.

You probably need to contact the sender first for more info if your other emails from elsewhere work ok.
I've never tried making changes in that area but the tutorial seems fairly clear.
Hope someone with more knowledge of the subject can help.

Is this the email itself or an attachment you are unable to read?

If it is an attachment what is the 3 letter suffix, those 3 letters at the end of the file name after the . (dot)?

I'm confused by "no file listed". What makes you think there is something there to open? If it is an image, I'll bet the sender tried to embed the image in the email. This doesn't always work smoothly since there are hundreds of email clients and webmail programs and no two work exactly the same. It's far better (IMHO) to ATTACH the file to the email. Just my $.02.

iwoagirl2006, Thank you for the info on Microsoft PowerToys, I never heard of it before now. I will have to look this over, it sounds pretty neat. pkponder, is there a check next to Block Images and other external content in HTML email? There is no checkmark in that box. What type of picture file are you attempting to attach? I have some pictures from my camera (Kodak easyshare camera)and I took them from the Kodak gallery and transfered them into a folder. I then resized some of those pictures. I right click on the picture itself then choose send to, then Mail Recipient and it goes to Outlook Express. It's worked before but not now. I just happened to notice when I went to my other clipart folders that when I put my mouse on a clipart it is now showing Kodak Easyshare, those cliparts did not come from Kodak Easyshare they came from the Microsoft website where I got them from Microsoft Publisher to make cards. Why did Kodak easyshare take over my cliparts and how do I get it back to normal? Now I know what has happened the Kodak software is set as the default picture viewer. I don't know how that happened. How do I Change the application back to Windows Media Viewer? When it is set to the Media Viewer I can do everything in Outlook Express as I use to and open the paperclip to see the pictures that come in to me. The search that I did really doesn't help me much with this problem but it did let me know what happened and when I checked out every picture, clipart etc that I have in my folders it shows Kodak Easyshare .gif or jpeg etc. Now that I know what the problem is I need to know how to get my clipart etc to open with the Windows Picture Viewer. Any idea's? thirdfrt!!!

Why would your manager send an email that you couldn't open. Something smells fishy to me. Or there is more to the story.
